[SLUG] Analog clock with transparent background and timezone support
G'day sluggers, I'm looking for a Linux XWindows clock display that will allow me to have three instances of the clock displayed on my desktop as part of the background. Each clock will display the time in a different timezone. The desktops timezone is UTC. So I want to be able to set the TZ to the appropriate value for Sydney, Perth and UTC and have the clock display on the desktop with a title or label showing the name of the Location that the time is for. xclock understands the TZ variable but looks a bit lame/ugly on a modern desktop. Whilst it supports the -title argument it can't be seen unless the clock is huge because of the window control buttons. Any suggestions.

Lets you run multiple clocks, each with a different timezone & label on the clock face.

Thanks John, I've installed the screenlets and that is exactly what I needed. Much appreciated. Google doesn't know about this, or I don't use the right key words.
